How do you get YOUR Minerals?

Ancient Minerals Magnesium Bath Flakes are the dry flakes of magnesium chloride and other naturally occurring trace minerals, in a convenient and economical form for utilization in baths and foot soaks. Ancient Minerals Magnesium Flakes dissolved in warm water provide the user with a medicinal bath of cell restoring magnesium chloride. Some individuals with sensitive skin may prefer this method of application, rather than the more concentrated Ancient Minerals Magnesium Oil. Ancient Minerals Magnesium Bath Flakes are also highly effective for healing skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and dermatitis. Soaking in magnesium salts has been shown to markedly improve skin hydration, speed wound healing, enhance skin barrier function, and decrease inflammation.

Directions For Use.
Temperature of the water should be approximately 101-103 °F (39 °C). Soak for 30 minutes or more. Following Bath, rinse with warm water and pat dry.

For foot soaks, dissolve up to 3 cups / For body soaks, dissolve up to 6 cups.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How do I use the Product?
A. MAGNESIUM BATH FLAKES – Ancient Minerals bath flakes offer an economical form for creating a healing magnesium footbath or full tub bath. Temperature of the water should be warm but not hot. Hot water causes the skin to eliminate rather than to absorb. Dissolve 1-3 cups or more of the magnesium flakes into a warm footbath or tub bath, and soak for 30 minutes or more.

For use in full body tub baths, one can use up to 8lbs of magnesium flakes per bath for intense applications

It is recommended to remove any body lotions, crèmes, and moisturizers prior using Ancient Minerals, which can hinder uptake of magnesium ions by the skin.

Frequency of Usage

Generally speaking, Ancient Minerals should be used with intensity during the first 3-4 months in order to ensure proper restoration of cellular magnesium levels. It is advisable to begin the first few days of application with modest use, and gradually work up to larger amounts. After this initial period of restoration, some users feel that they need to use Ancient Minerals just as much as they were during the first 3-4 months, while others back off to using Ancient Minerals a few times per week. It all depends on the person, as everyone responds differently and with different needs.

Magnesium Dosage

Many prominent researchers feel that the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for magnesium is far too low, and is set at the minimum acceptable level to stave off deficiency symptoms, not at the optimum to ensure good health. According to Dr. Carolyn Dean, MD, a highly respected medical authority on the subject, research over the past 20 years has shown us that even under ideal conditions approximately 300mg of magnesium is required merely to replace daily losses.

However, as a general rule of thumb, an appropriate daily intake of magnesium should be approximately 3-4 mg per pound of bodyweight. For a 200lb male, this would equate to 600mg to 800mg per day. Chronic health complications, emotional and physical stress, physical injury, athletic exertion, and poor lifestyle/dietary choices, all increase your daily magnesium requirements. Women who are pregnant or lactating also have elevated magnesium requirements.

I purchased a few bags a while back and it was amazing how much better they seemed to work compared to other bath/Epsom salts I have used in the past. The magnesium flakes are mg. chloride which I feel is the key over the typical mg. sulphate in Epsom salts. Love this!
